    • Lanyard
    • Manual
    • Flashlight
  • Uses a large 26800 battery with a USB-C charging port.
  • Includes a tripod.
  • Dual-head design: Spotlight + Floodlight in one flashlight.

Key specifications / features mentioned

  • Max output: 6000 lumens
  • Max throw: ~429 m
  • Water rating: IPX8, stated as up to 100 m submersible
  • Spotlight LED: SFT70.2 in a smooth reflector
  • Floodlight LED: HP50, 6000K tint (later a possible slight green tint is noted at low mode)
  • Controls:
    • Rotary switch to select spotlight/floodlight
    • Button switch with indicator light used for lock/status and switching modes (including double-click for turbo)
    • Lock state exists (button shows green light for battery status)

Beam / modes and behavior

  • Modes differ for spotlight vs floodlight.
  • Turbo is described as a combination mode.

Turbo heat behavior (land)

  • The head gets very hot, making it difficult to comfortably hold on land.
  • Stepdown behavior:
    • On land, turbo is reported to start at 6000 lm for ~1 minute, then step down to around 1800 lm, lasting about 1h 50m.
    • It’s also described as reaching “medium” after stepdown.

Spotlight mode (on land, reported)

  • Turbo: ~6000 lm (runtime ~1 min), then to ~1800 lm for ~1h 50m
  • Spotlight high: 3132 lm (~3 min), then to 1200 lm (~2h 10m)
  • Spotlight medium: 1334 lm (~2h 41m)
  • Spotlight low: 321 lm (~12h 54m)

Floodlight mode (on land, reported)

  • High: 3257 lm (~3 min), then to 1300 lm (~2h 17m)
  • Medium: ~2h 40m (lumens not clearly specified in one line)
  • Low: 331 lm (~14h 5m)

User experience (handling & usability)

Pros

  • Two beam types (spot + flood) in one unit—useful for both targeting and wide illumination.
  • Beam quality described as strong and clear:
    • Spotlight: good hotspot with clear spill
    • Floodlight: “quite floody” and wide
  • Beam artifacts described as very minimal on the spotlight (not very noticeable outdoors).
  • Included design elements (headlamp/tripod accessory) and overall concept described as interesting and useful for diving.

Cons / pain points

  • Heat is the biggest issue on land:
    • Significant head heat buildup; reviewer says it’s “better to use… in water than on land.”
  • Turbo is very hot:
    • Reviewer reports they cannot hold the head when using turbo on land.
    • Stepdown happens quickly enough to reduce sustained output.
  • Battery availability / compatibility:
    • The specific 26800 battery is difficult to find in the market (though normal cells may be usable with magnets).
    • Charging may require a charger long enough for the battery length.
  • Interface preference:
    • Reviewer wished the button could turn off immediately (instead of sliding the switch to unlock/off), calling sliding “quite difficult” for instant shutdown.
  • Tint suggestion:
    • Reviewer says ~5000K would be better for both LEDs.
    • Floodlight low mode shows a slight green tint (described as minor).

Comparisons made

  • No direct comparison to named competing models.
  • Conceptual contrast between land vs water use, especially regarding heat/comfort and runtime/behavior.

Unique points mentioned (complete list)

  • Dual-head: spotlight + floodlight, with turbo combining both
  • Included accessories:
    • Spare o-rings
    • USB-C charging cable
    • Lanyard
    • Manual
    • Tripod
  • Battery:
    • 26800 with USB-C charging port
    • Charging time ~3.5 hours
  • Water protection: IPX8, up to 100 m submersible
  • LEDs:
    • Spotlight SFT70.2
    • Flood HP50 (6000K)
  • Max performance:
    • 6000 lm
    • ~429 m throw
  • Mode behavior:
    • Mode memory for spotlight
    • Cycling low/medium/high with a single click while on
    • Double-click for turbo
    • Single click from turbo returns to last mode
  • Heat complaints: head gets very hot, especially on turbo; reviewer recommends water use
  • Runtime/stepdown estimates provided for land (turbo ~1 minute, then stepdown; multiple mode runtimes listed)
  • Beam observations:
    • Spotlight hotspot + clear spill
    • Flood is wide/floody
    • Artifacts minimal indoors/outdoors
  • Tint critique: wants ~5000K; slight green tint at flood low
  • Battery magnet hack discussed (adding magnet to increase length for use with a normal cell)
  • Charging constraints depending on charger length

Speakers / views

  • Single main reviewer voice throughout (no clearly separated perspectives beyond the same person describing different tests/contexts).

Verdict / recommendation

A strong dual-beam diving flashlight with impressive peak output (6000 lm) and IPX8 / 100 m rating, but land use is hampered by substantial head heat, especially on turbo.

Best recommendation: buy for diving/wet or cooler environments, where the heat issue is less problematic. Less ideal if you mainly need a sustained high-brightness flashlight for land.
